FORAKER ON CLEVELAND.
The President Charged With Doing
the Country a Great Injury.

In his speech at Caldwell, o., last Satur-
day, Governor Foraker called attention to
the course Of President Cleveland on the
Southern question. He said
The war between the North and South had
been ended 20 years when he became Presi-
dent. During that time the prejudice that
had led TO 1t had almost completely faded
away. and both at the South and at the
North 1t was difficult to find any trace Of
the great conflict. The people OF the South
had come to see and coneede the error Of
tl91H cause. On all sides, especially among
the ex-s0ldiers of the C0nfederacy, there
was growing feeling Of profound thank
fulness that they had been beaten in battle
and that, as a consequence, slavery had
been destroyed and they had been saved to
pe part and TO enjoy the blessings Of the
Union.
Today we have reached the point where it
Is demanded, not that the war shall be for
gotten, as has been so long the cry, but that
the Confederacy and the soldiers and people
who upheld it shall be pronounced ae1uit of
all blame and be remembered only with
pride and praise because Of the bravery they
displayed in battling against the Union.
Naturally such ideas have been Indignantly
resented, as they should be, and there has
been considerable bitter controversy in con-
sequence.
Why is all this SOP The explanation is
ihauilcob- " - uuo uiIccLiy anu dltOBcbntr
to the fact that 1t has been, from the begin
ming. Of his administration, the policy Of
President Cleveland not simply TO fully and
frankly recognize the people Of the South,
and generously and cheerfully accord them
as he should, all their rights and their Just
proportion OF all the benefits Of government,
but to 90 further, and also In various ways
that have been resorted to, seek to do away
with the idea that there was, after all, any
thing very seriously wrong. about secession
and rebellion, and this elevate the ''lOst
cause In the esteem of men until the actors
in its behalf could stand on the same plane
with the men whose heroism prevented the
accomplishment Of their purpose.
BY this course many of the people of the
South have been misled into the belief that
the opinions and sentiments Of the people Of
the North have undergone a change and
that we no longer feel that secession
and rebellion were the great crimes
we claimed them to be when we took
up arms and suppressed them. Acting
great deal TO rekindle the prejudice and Bit
terness Of the war. They seem to think
that because Mr.. Cleveland appears to make
no distinction between the blue and the gray,
and because he appears anxious to put both
on the same level, everyone else should do
the same, and they accordingly misinterpret
and misrepresent every act on the part Of
the loyal people of the North that Is not in
accord with the President In this respect.
as an act of hostility toward the South and
as an evidence that there is no c0rdiality of
feeling on our part toward them. In bring
Ing about this condition of things the Presi-
dent has done an incalculable, but not an ir-
reparable injury to the country.

HALsTEAu's IMPRESSIONS.
The Cincinnati Editor Talks OF Affairs
Abroad.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-Murat Halstead of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette was
among the passengers who arrived in New I
York by the French steamship Burgoyne
yesterday. In answer to question as to
what he considered of the greatest interest
to Americans in London, Mr.. Halstead said:
1.-The popularity of the great American show
there. for one. That is, think. generally
well known now. The fact that Buffalo Bill
has been very gentlemanlyl man there and
has really been quite a handsome and dis
tinguished figure in London society is
perhaps not so well known; but that is true,
and 1t is an indication of the versatility Of
the American which is rather pleasing than
otherwise. Another person Of interest to
our people is Mrs. James Brown Potter,
whose nrSt appearance in her new play OF
Loyal Love l witnessed. Mrs. Potter's
triumph was quite positive. There was no
doubt about II at all. She is lady OF very
decided ability, has got over all her amateur
lshness, is perfectly composed, and seems to
De an actress not only of ability but OF ac-
complishments. There was one great scene
In the piece, in which she displayed power
that think her best friends had hardly
thought her equal to- 1t settled the question
with every dispassionate and unpreludiced
person that her success is assured-that Is,
II she is not managed out of the way"
In the coures of conversation, Mr.. Hal
stead said: "The Irish members of Parlia-
ment treat Americans with great consldera-
ton, and there is pretty large representa-
tlon OF Americans constantly in the galleries,
introduced by their Irish friends. The Irish
cause .unqnestionably gaining ground among
the English people; and what think is the
most Important point is thatit is not only the
cause of Ireland that is making its way, but
1t is the cause of frepublicanism-0f the rights
OF man. The growth of democracy in Eng
land is behind this Irish question, and more
important than that question itself: There

McNEALLY'S coNFEDERATES.
Bank Examiner Richards Believes
the Young Man Only a Tool.

SACo, Sept. 13.-To a reporter to-day
Bank Examiner Richards said it has been
his theory for some time that McNeally was
not alone concerned in the robbery, but that
he simply executed what cooler and more ex-
perienced heads planned, and that he, as the
tool, is now in their hands, only to be drop
ped like hot cake and delivered into the
clutches of the law when the intelligence of
an increase of the reward reaches them. Mr.
Richards believes that young McNeally has
been Shadowed from the first and that his
capture would have been effected before this
but for the smallness, of the reward. He
feels confident that both the defaulter and
his Doodle will now be forthcoming. This
belief is not wholly based upon any theory
of his own, but he has information i'm his
possession that points to such conclusion
Mr.. Richards win not make his statement
concerning the condition of the bank this
week and probably not until the middle of
next. Nearly, If not quite, all the books or
the Biddeford and Saco depositors have been
handed in and examined, and now the de-
postors who live up country are bringing in
theirs, bnt they are coming slowly, and will
cause delay in the publication of the
statement. Mr.. Richards assistant, Mr.
Merrill, is making trial balance under his
direction, as well as taking part In the ex-
animation of the daposit books, and 1t will
take some time to make and correct the foot
inQs.
